Three Baltic states and the EU itself have expressed concerns about safety at the Russia-backed project Image courtesy Creative Commons / Flickr / Mr.TinDC. Lithuania does not see a problem with Poland’s proposed nuclear power programme, but has concerns about the Russia-supplied Belarusian nuclear power station under construction near its border in Ostrovets, Lithuanian energy minister Dainius Kreivys told Polish energy portal Biznes Alert.

Mr Kreivys said in the interview: “The Polish nuclear project, which is being developed under European Union regulations, cannot be compared with the Russian project in Belarus, which raises growing concerns.”

He said Lithuania was not consulted over the deployment of the two-unit Belarusian nuclear station and it is in violation of the Espoo Convention, which requires trans-border consultation on nuclear facilities.

Mr Kreivys raised questions about the independent status of the Belarusian nuclear regulator and said that the Belarusian station had failed 27 stress tests with only a handful of issues having been addressed.
